NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Bill O'Reilly was known for plenty of heated exchanges on his former Fox News show.
But instead of a guest on the now-canceled "O'Reilly Factor," the 72-year-old raged at a JetBlue employee at New York’s JFK Airport earlier this month.
According to The New York Post, O'Reilly appears visibly upset in the April 3 video, with his mask pulled down, complaining about his flight being delayed.
"We need to know what you're going to do It's three hours late now," he said.
O'Reilly, who now hosts the "No Spin News and Analysis" podcast, is even overheard cursing at him.
"Don’t f****** start, don’t f****** talk to me like that!," he said.
"You’re threatening me with violence, man," the man eventually adds. "No, I'm not," O'Reilly responds.
Pointing his finger at the unidentified man, O'Reilly then threatens the man's livelihood, saying, "You’re gonna lose your job."
"Bill O'Reilly lost his temper," said the man recording the video.
In a statement to The Daily Mail, O'Reilly said his flight to Turks and Caicos was eventually delayed by five hours and that the man was "arrogant."
'The guy was arrogant and falsely accused me of threatening him and I said: 'You're lucky I didn't do that,'" said the former network star, who was fired in 2017 over several harassment allegations.
JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski told The Daily Mail he couldn't comment on the incident until he saw the video.
